I do remember a fabulous pre BFT tasting we had a few years ago. I am definitely in.

JB vintage

If I may adopt a bottle I am totally on! Perhaps I can match with a -78 from an adjacent century?

JB vintage

Hello Bertie! I am one of the 3 people behind vintageport.se. I have not tasted this one but my father in law has in the mid 90ies. I would be very interested in joining Alex, if you are interested, and could add a few additional 1979s. I currently have 7 different 79s, incl the Malvados. May I sugg...

JB vintage

Are there any thoughts on arranging a tasting the night before TBFT as in the good old days?

Hunt Roope? = Tuke Holdsworth?

It might or might not be, you never know in Porto. It is the same company- but to know if it is the same juice inside the bottle you have to ask a port wine expert.

JB vintage

We confirm (Sten, Stefan and Jörgen), as already noted in the attendance list. In addition I confirm that I have the following bottles from tire 1 and 2 and with at least 2 bottles available: Offley Boa Vista Cockburn Dow Fonseca Gould Campbell Graham Noval, Q do Ramos Pinto Warre Burmester Butler, ...

I have the following tier 3/flight 5 bottles:
Andresen
Borges
Dalva
Diez
Feist
Feuerheerd
Hunt
Maia
Martins
Quinta do Sibio

and in addition, not on the list: C. da Silva

JB vintage

I, Sten and Stefan are interested in attending. // JB

JB vintage

You should buy one of each! I believe they are all good.

JB vintage

To me this looks genuine and most likely a colheita port of the vintage 1927. Perhaps bottled a couple of decades later and could then very well be imported after the prohibition.

JB vintage

From the same source, also acquired a stock of Ferreira 45, Tuke Holdsworth 47, Mackenzie 48, Boa Vista 50 and Delaforce 58. Given they're all quite rare I might arrange a tasting in early 2019 if there's sufficient interest... Venue would probably be 67 Pall Mall. That sounds like a wonderful tast...

After a quick review i found 3 additional vintages not mentioned:
Bulas,
DR
Palmer (Barao de Vilar)

I don't know. There are several references to Seara d'Ordens vintage 2016 but the only bottle I have seen was Talentvs 2016 so I don't know if it is the same.

To be accurate, most VP's don't come from just one Quinta. Even "SQVP's", by law, can have a small amount from other Quinta's and still be called a SQVP. Are there rules for SQVP? I thought that SQVP is not at all regulated by the law nor IVDP? Legally it is a Vintage Port, everything els...

Until 2009 the production was labeled as Quinta do Cachao To my understanding the labels "Messias" and "Quinta do Cachao" were used on different markets for the same wine until the vintage of 2007. As of 2009 "Messias" and "Quinta do Cachao" are two different...

I havn't been able to locate any Cruz vintage 1992. I know it has been made.

JB vintage

I have a few Dow 72 as well as Dow 80. 1972 is not a very good year though, suffering from the alcohol scandal of using synthetic industrial spirit for the fortification (1972-1974). Dow 1972 is one of the better 1972's though. I also have a few of the, Dow's Quinta do Bomfim 1980, that is much more...

JB vintage

I have information that Cruz vintage 1992 has been made. However, all pictures and auction results from the past I can find shows Cruz Colheita "vintage", that is obviously a harvest and not a vintage. Does anyone on this forum know if Gran Cruz vintage 1992 exists?

JB vintage

Does anyone have a Cruz vintage 1992, that I might buy? We are trying to set up a complete 1992 vintage tasting and Cruz is one of the few remaining brands.

No surprises in your home! That is an impressive long term planning!

JB vintage

Stacks make FIFO (First In First Out) difficult though. I tend to want to use the older bottles at the bottom first and it is a lot of work to take out the bottom bottle from a stack, and thus I prefer to have the cases on shelves. When stacks are needed same size does save a lot of space and are mu...

DRT wrote: ↑18:40 Mon 23 Jul 2018 ... same wine as Grand Cruz 1989, which seems to have been the largest volume of VP produced by any shipper in any year at around 1,000,000 bottles

DTR: How do you know Cruz produced 1 M bottles?

JB vintage

It is for sure five different labels, but it might be the same juice in all bottles. As always it is difficult to know when different labels are used by the same Port producer.

JB vintage

In 1989 a company named Companhia Uniao dos Vinhos do Porto e Madeira Lda, owned by Grand Cruz, made five different vintages: Aguila, Cabraco, Calvares, Dom Joaquim and Magales. As far as I know these brands has never been used again since then. Does anybody know why?

Congratulations Axel. We are looking forward to the Swedish edition!

We were very glad to visit tpf tasting in London on May 8 and TBFT on the 9th. However, finding vintage port in London proved to be much more difficult than expected. Non of the major wine stores (nor minor) had any interesting vintages. If they had any at all it was 2-3 very common wines such as Ma...

Please put me on the waiting list. Jorgen B

JB vintage

Thank you for a very nice tasting. It was very nice meeting you all again.

JB vintage

Great that we will not have to bring glasses.
We very much look forward to seeing you in a few days.

JB vintage

I believe 1970 is a much better year than 1994. In 1970 almost all producers has made good port while in 1994 there are several that are not performing.

JB vintage

Just to keep in mind when buying 1994: this is a year that is not at all, as you might think, generally good. The best producers perform very well, but there are a lot of producers that do not deliver good quality. Top 10 or so are good, the rest is not, in my experience. Which have you found good,...

I agree with your question, but Martinez is actually a Spanish name
OK smartarse - Iberian name then..

A quick Google suggests its Lusitanian equivalent is Martins

Iberian it is!

JB vintage

We are flying in from Sweden on the morning of the tasting. We think it might be better to decant in the morning before the flight rather than mixing the sediment during the flight. We will bring the original bottle in any case. Does any of you have experience on what would be the best option?

JB vintage

Good to know you liked it. I have never been there.

JB vintage

How many glasses do we need to bring?
